Crop Cover's 9.1m (29'11") clear span portal allows
for efficient crop spacing and management.
The Redpath Crop Cover offers a highly efficient
9.1m (29'11")clear-span portal. This gives the grower the opportunity to
plant 6 x 1 metre (3'4") wide beds with 400mm walkways (or 5 x 1.2m (4')
beds). The efficient use of floor space is a very important factor
to today's modern growers & the Crop Cover design allows for a flexible
planting layout to be used. The portal arch truss is manufactured
from heavy duty RHS (rectangular hollow section) steel. When this
is roll formed into the arch profile it produces a very strong roof truss
system without the requirement for other overhead internal rails.
This gives the grower a “drive through” ability
for machinery inside the structure with no low overhead impeding framework.
This clear-span framework also has no perching points or dust collection
points for pests & dirt to build up on, promoting a much cleaner &
disease free production environment.
